Message to BC Hydro

The threat arrived on schedule, and I assure you that I have the cash and will pay it tomorrow. I meant to, just now, at the Money Mart, but I forgot to bring it with me. I hope you will indulge me for the twenty-four hours, on the grounds that my music would encourage amp use and increase your profits.

Begrudge Me This

A topic of discussion that occurred between a Scottish friend and I today was grudges and the people who hold them (He also seems to have had a slight Jethro Tullish influence on my composing, but that's another story.) There are basically two types of grudge holders: the ones who forget their grudges when things are going well for them and the ones who never forget their grudges. I stand firmly in the former group - unless millions upon millions of dollars owed to me are the source of my grudge.

Thinking about Philosophy

While George Carlin once said that children should be taught to question everything [2013: when he was parroting my erased work from 2006 and 2007], I'm not sure I agree wholeheartedly with him. It depends on the child. Philosophy is not for everyone. It takes a strong mind to handle it. The stuff is a kind of intellectual dynamite. Hitler should have been prevented somehow from reading Nietzsche. Look what Hitler did. He seized upon the phrases that appealed to him, ignoring the overall argument, and used them to develop a rather sinister mythology. History tells the rest of the story. I think it's possible for everyone to become philosophers, but the effort needed to achieve this is too great. We got some thick people out there, myself included, who just don't get it the first or second or third time, and, in the meantime, they're walking about with warped versions of very powerful ideas floating about in their heads. Then consider things like societal efficiency. How does the work get done when everyone is questioning their actions all the time? It doesn't. Sorry if I've said all this before. I must have meant it.

Being Fair

Not all birds are bad. Just gulls and crows mostly. And the odd budgie might have an attitude problem. Finches are okay. A little nervous maybe. And I like the good singers, which ever ones they are.

Davy Skerkowski

Davy Skerkowski was a jolly, happy Pole Though his best Polish was pure jibberish And he wasn't quite that tall Davy Skerkowski wrote a song about his pain And it made him hot until he forgot Then he wrote it down again! There must have been some magic in that warehouse that he found That proved itself beyond a doubt the second time around Oh, Davy Skerkowski was alive as he could be When he waved good-bye, saying don't get high, Not unless you include me Puffity-puff-puff, puffity-puff-puff, look at Davy go Puffity-puff-puff, puffity-puff-puff, running from a crow

Not Whipped Yet (Wishful Dreaming)

I fell asleep without any sounds to interfere with my dreams last night. I dreamt that I wrote a blog about having a dream that I was mowing the lawn when the mower got away from me and lifted me high into the sky, off into space, past the planets and the stars, until I ended up on a planet of women, where I was greeted by its leader. (Plus two escorts.) The first thing they asked me to do was to go back and bring the whipper-snipper.
